Christ’s Corner
In The Gap
Luke 23:34 (NKJV)
"Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”
More and more lately I have felt the presence of the Holy Spirit near me. I have also felt Him silence me similar to when the angels closed the mouths of the lions in the lion's den (Daniel 6:22). Recently, I have been placed in situations where I am allowed to "see" but it isn't the right time to speak. In doing so, I have been able to see the resemblance of footsteps as the Holy Spirit works. More often than not, we have absolutely no idea what God is up to and we must have faith that He sets things in place whether it be in our own personal sphere or globally. And that means standing in the gap in prayer, for ourselves AND for one another.
Beginning when I was a child, I prayed for God to give me His heart. His eyes. His ears. I want to see people the way He sees them so that I might love them with that Agape love He has for us. "Be Careful what you pray for!", I would hear the old timers say to each other as they joked around. But y'all, I can see what they meant! My question to you is, how do you stand in the gap? 1 Timothy 2:5 explains that Christ is the one and only mediator for us to God, but that doesn't mean we can’t intercede on the behalf of others to God in Christ. Pray for each other. Speak LIFE into one another and over circumstances. Find that peace that surpasses all understanding and let the Holy Spirit open your eyes so that you can see things the way Jesus does. Stand in the gap.
God Bless;
Minister Tony and Anna Green
